As the world warms, we will need to seek shade on hot days. In cities, this will become even more important. The heat of the summer can be deadly.
Cities which value the well being of their inhabitants should start planting now... and on a large scale.
They will also protect existing city trees. Manchester calls itself the City of Trees.
City trees can also be the focus for some fieldwork. They can be counted, identified and mapped.
Also check out the work of Trees for Cities. This organisation is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary.
